Solid Heating UDF

W/m ² or W/m ³ | This UDF defines the heat flux applied uniformly over a static body surface (for 2D conduction) or volume (for 3D conduction). The output units are W/m ² for 2D surface conduction or W/m ³ for 3D volume conduction. This is a System UDF.

`Advanced`¶

Resolution

Sets the conduction \(dx\) to the level of lattice spacing.

Auto

Auto-sets the conduction \(dx\) to two times the level 0 lattice spacing.

Auto Detect 2D

If this is true, the solver will automatically collapse portions of the 3D conductivity mesh into a 2D version if the conductivity \(dx\) value cannot resolve the geometry. If false, the conductivity must be able to resolve all static body geometry.

Off

Time Step

This setting includes the option to have an automatic or custom time step.

Auto

Automatically sets the conduction \(dt\) to 100 times the model time step.
